PHILADELPHIA — The phrase “Super Bowl repeat” won’t be a part of Eagles coach Nick Sirianni’s messaging this season, for Sirianni believes making it the main focus of his message could distract his team from improving.

The natural word to use would be "repeat." But Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni won't. Neither will any of the players. Instead, they're focusing on a different phrase. One that signifies the Eagles' expectations for excellence lasting well beyond the 2025 season, even though the Eagles are considered odds-on favorites to, ahem, repeat.

For a team with aspirations to win a second Super Bowl in a row, it’s important to turn the page on the first one. The Eagles are still waiting to do that. Nearly a month after the initial date for getting their championship rings, the Eagles are still waiting for the most coveted piece of jewelry in American sports.
